2009/08/17 Anti Aging comments closed

To comprehend the great benefits of human growth hormone supplements, we will need to first understand what it is and why it’s necessary, and if it’s really needed.

HGH, known as human growth hormone in medical jargon, is an important hormone secreted by the pituitary gland; this gland, which is found in the center of the human brain, produces HGH which helps in a range of health functions of the human body, and contributes to the overall well-being of a person. You may ask, why do I need human growth supplements if my body already produces HGH naturally? Is it just another scam by self-serving entrepreneurs who profess that their products beef you up, make you taller, younger, and speed up healing - or could there be some actual truth about falling HGH levels that requires immediate action from monitored therapy utilizing HGH supplements?

2009/07/19 Uncategorized comments closed

But then came Dr.West, the Alphonse Fletcher, Jr., University Professor at Harvard.

West and Summers came into conflict when the Harvard President questioned some of the professor’s non-scholarly pursuits. These included West’s role as political consultant to presidential aspirants Bill Bradley and Al Sharpton; his defense of Sean “P. Diddy” Combs during the rap impresario’s gun trial; and his recording of a spoken word/rap album entitled “Sketches of My Culture” while on a year’s medical leave from Harvard.

More important to Summers, however, were West’s inflationary grading practices. Summers also reportedly suggested to West that the professor should write “a major academic book,” to supplement his more publicity-oriented pursuits. In other words, Summers asked West to participate in a program of academic reform and accountability. Read the rest of this entry »

Prescription Drugs: Cheap Alternative

2009/05/26 Health comments closed

Do you become anxious just thinking about getting a prescription filled? You can decrease your monthly expenses for prescription drugs, and maybe even eliminate some of your medicines. At times it is a minor thing, and there are other times that you may have to make a bigger commitment.

The Why: Pharmacists often listen to customer complaints about how expensive medications have become. You can obtain less expensive prescription drugs in a number of ways, but you first have to ask WHY they are cheaper.

• When you see your physician, make sure you are ready. Write down any questions that you want to remember to ask. Prepare yourself with questions and bring them, which enables you not to forget.

• When you are handed those attractively packaged samples, you should ask some questions:

o Why is this medication being prescribed for me?
o Will changes to your lifestyle help to alleviate the problem? For overweight people, would weight loss prevent you from needing this medication? Should you consider a different physical fitness program?
o Can you get a generic medication that will do the same thing?

• Ask your doctor if there will be drug interactions between this medication and the ones you are already taking (you will have a list in your wallet, of course)

• Once you are sure that the new medication is necessary and you cannot get any samples, ask your doctor to prescribe a thirty day supply. This should give you enough time to see if you are experiencing any unpleasant side effects and if the medication is effective for you.

The Buy: Most people choose the most convenient pharmacy. Don’t let this be the only reason to select a pharmacist. Locate a pharmacy that you can trust; you should be comfortable asking questions — remember, it’s your health we are talking about.

• Check with the pharmacist or technician to find out if they have a regular staff or do they often have substitute pharmacists

• Find out how they determine if there are interactions with drugs, foods, and over the counter medications

• Find out if they are usually busy, or do they work at a reasonable pace

2009/05/18 Health comments closed

You might have heard people joke, when offered freshly cut vegetables, that they have a veggie allergy and would much prefer chocolate cake! Shockingly enough, allergic reactions to fruits and vegetables is quite real and becoming increasingly more common. The Dairy Reporter states that more and more people are becoming allergic to fruit or vegetables.

Fortunately, for the most part, the allergies to fruits and vegetables are confined to the mouth rather than the systemic reactions, which often lead to intense itching, difficulty breathing, lightheadedness, or even complete collapse. Fruit or vegetable food allergy usually cause oral allergy syndrome, or itching and swelling in one’s mouth. If the forbidden fruit or vegetable is ingested, sometimes there is a release of histamines from the digestive tract which leads to such symptoms as vomiting and intestinal cramping. Those with produce allergies often have suffered from hay fever, asthma, or eczema as well.

Allergy specialists say that produce allergies are increasing significantly. It appears that children are experiencing this at a much higher rate than adults. Some studies have shown that children who haven’t been exposed to a variety of potential allergens early in life, when they can build up tolerance, experience a higher rate of allergy related problems later on. How serious can this problem be? Some experts feel that in the future, produce allergies might pose a more widespread problem than peanut allergies.
